Australia will win 4-0, 4-1, 3-1. Australia should win 14-0. These are just some of the punter predictions posted below the Socceroos Facebook post announcing the starting XI to play Uzbekistan in the Asian Cup Round of 16.
Haha thanks StuM…. this was never intended to be a list of suggestions for improvement. My personal list for that is extremely long and does not get a mention in this article. It’s merely looking to drum up support for a team that in its present state simply isn’t that good, and we should be celebrating every small success that comes our way. I also deliberately pointed out at the end that I still think we should criticise poor performances!
The Socceroos are not as good as we like to think they are, and that’s okay
Just saw today that Jamie McLaren is looking at coming home again….
But yeah I grew up watching a dominant Australian cricket team and the Wallabies at their peak in the early 2000’s and the taste of international dominance is certainly sweet.

I agree with everything you’ve said. I recently heard from a friend from Campbelltown who said Rugby League is experiencing significant regression at a local level. Where there were once several comps in Sydney with multiple competitions, they’ve all had to merge into one massive competition because of dwindling numbers.
My major concern lies with the struggles our national youth teams have had though. The Olyroos failed to qualify for the last two Olympic Games and haven’t progressed from the group stage of the last two U23 Asian Cups. So I worry the pain will continue for a little while longer, however a 48 million team World Cup certainly makes qualifying for that easier.

I’d certainly love to be world beaters one day!

You’ve hit the nail on the head, At Work.

Feel free to offer some criticism?
